Pros

nothing really, unless you count coffee mug and t-shirts pros

Cons

This place is really bad place to work because of two reasons. 1. Houston office thinks everyone in plant is slave labor in a seat shop and pays them less 2. The leadership disproportionately favors people from their circle (Celanese Chemicals). If you are a bright chemical engineer, this is not a place for you
